Currently developing a django app, and I used social (Google) OAuth 2.0 authentication.

I deleted the app from my local computer and git cloned it. Google Sign-in was working fine, I deleted the app for something else.

Anyways, after I cloned it from github, when when I tried “sign in with google”, it says “`Exception Value: Reverse for 'google_login' not found. 'google_login' is not a valid view function or pattern name.`”, it’s also highlighting `<a href="{% provider_login_url 'google'%}?next=/">`.

I don’t think that I need to I define the url, because I installed django-allauth, and it should come with that. I am just so confused why would it work before and after I git cloned it, it stop working. Couldn’t find out the reason online.

Any idea? Thanks!

The [setup steps include creating some data in the admin](https://django-allauth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/providers.html#django-configuration). Did you redo that step as well?

Yup. The info was still in there under social applications.

Can you install `django-extensions` and run `python manage.py show_urls`, then copy/paste the output here? I’m not super familiar with allauth, but I think the urls should get registered in there.

Can you share your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting too please?

Odd. So I added allauth to a project of mine and installed it with the INSTALLED\_APPS and to the urlpatterns how you did, and I get the following URL patterns:

```auto
/google/login/	allauth.socialaccount.providers.oauth2.views.view	google_login
/google/login/callback/	allauth.socialaccount.providers.oauth2.views.view	google_callback

```

It’s likely that `'allauth.socialaccount.providers.google',` isn’t being registered as an `INSTALLED_APPS` element. Check that you’re using the correct settings file and/or what the values are. Or if anything manipulates it.

You could also try verifying what version of allauth you have installed and compare to what the latest version of allauth.

`allauth.socialaccount.providers.google',` is in my`INSTALLED_APPS` list. So I am not sure what went wrong. But I think you might be on the right track.  
After I reinstalled it and I got a different error. It’s coming from the files from allauth:

Hmm, the error above occurred because I changed the path to `path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),`, and now that I changed the path back to `path('', include('allauth.urls')),`, it’s this error again. Quite interesting.

Today I have faced a similar problem.

I tried everything, but nothing worked, so I deleted OAuth 2.0 Client and created a new one.  
Added client\_id and client\_screat

SOCIALACCOUNT\_PROVIDERS = {  
‘google’: {  
‘SCOPE’: [‘email’],  
‘AUTH\_PARAMS’: {‘access\_type’: ‘online’},  
‘OAUTH\_PKCE\_ENABLED’: True,

```
    'APP': {
        'client_id': env('CLIENT_ID'),
        'secret': env('SECRET'),
    }
}

```

}

Now everything works well.

go and create new credentials and add them to your SOCIALACCOUNT\_PROVIDERS
